Howard Jones brutality of fact

Select language to translate this lyric

A life of trouble has followed through
Disfiguring your potential to
I've seen your lifeline go out to you
Sidestepping a convention
But you always managed to find a way
To avoid what the negative people say
The sun will shine on a brighter day
When you stick to your own intention
Failing hardly seemed to bother you
Winning was a compliment to failure
A waking earth is calling you
The primal night begins its spell
Here comes the torment that eats inside
Distortion of those who wish you well
The call is strong but how can you hear?
Receiver's dead, the transmission's clear
The moon will rise in your finest hour
Lighting our redemption
Caught in perversion of our human life
Fall in confusion, born of sacrifice
But you always managed to find a way
To avoid what the negative people say
The sun will shine on a brighter day
When you stick to your own intention
Failing hardly seems to bother you
Winning was a compliment to failure, failure
Failing hardly seemed to bother you
Winning was a compliment to failure, failure
A hedonist life beckoned
Bodies of great beauty could not surrender
Rationality, fading in an Azurite mist
The security of sensation
A stoic harlequin half-smiled
His spirit, already in mortgage
Finding no consolation in the brutality of fact
